welcome to the American Crafts/Scor-pal blog hop!

We're sharing some fun to celebrate the Luck o' the Irish today! I'm sharing a layout I created using both the American Crafts Knockout Punches, and the Scor-pal! I'll also offer up a little diy so that you can do it yourself, if you'd like! Here's my project:

Score at the bottom of the points, or in between the ridges along the entire piece

Accordion fold:

Apply a strip of red tape along the left hand edge of each piece. Connect all of the pieces together.

Connect the final piece back to the first piece, to form a cylinder, making sure that the points are facing down.

Lay the piece flat

Apply a TON of glue to the circle:

Lay the folded piece over, and press in the center:

To create the other pieces, just use 2.5" strips instead of 4" ones! I also punched the edges with different punches. All set!

And finally, I'm giving away a small "kit" filled with items to create this fabulous Amy Tan Daybook! Everything is here and ready to ship to the lucky winner! Just leave a comment on this post before Midnight EST on Friday, March 23, and I'll choose a winner by random number generator to announce on Saturday!

Your next stop on the hop is Diane Zechman! I can't wait to see what everyone has made!! Good luck!!

How awesome! Who says you need a die for making these awesome embellishments, all you need is a scor pal! :O) I've see die's that sell for $20 or more and it's one size, and look at what you did with scor-pal...and how many more things you can do with it! Hugs! Leah Ann

Very cute layout...I love kraft backgrounds.....and your large pinwheels are super cute...thanks for showing how you made them! Love how you use the circle with glue on it for the back of the pinwheel...neat and tidy!

Oh my gosh ask me how much I love this... OH Be still my heart. and I have a couple of punches and just thought WHY Didn't I think of that. I am so going to give that a try. I love the effect it gives!

Wow! LOVE your post! I've been trying to make my own accordian flower a few times and it doesn't turn out quite right. Really appreciate this post, now i know where i went wrong :P Thanks a lot for sharing! ♥
